Changing My Tune
Changing My Tune
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - George Gershwin
Performer(s): Judy Garland
and multiple other artists
Castles were crumbling and daydreams were tumbling
December was battling with June
But on this bright afternoon
Guess I’ll be changing my tune
Kept on despairing beyond any caring
If I jumped out of a balloon
But I’m arranging from now
To be changing my tune
At last the stars are bright and shiny
It’s a human world once more
Yesterday’s troubles are tiny
What was I worried for?
Wanted a permit to make me a hermit
To grumble and glare at the moon
But I’m arranging from now
To be changing my tune
At last the stars are bright and shiny
It’s a human world once more
Yesterday’s troubles are tiny
What was I worried for?
No more resentment, I’m full of contentment
Afloat on a dreamy lagoon
And I’m arranging from now
To be changing my tune

From Our House To Yours
From Our House To Yours
Composer(s): Angela Kaset
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan; Angela Kaset
When I was just a little kid
You became my very best friend
Soon as I had done my chores
I beat a path from our house to yours
One Christmas we both asked for bikes
One in red, one blue and white
I'll never forget that magic morn
My first ride from our house to yours
From our house to yours
Twenty-one mailboxes
Twenty-one doors
For ten years or more
It was back and forth from our house to yours
One summer we both had a crush
On a boy who lived down the road from us
He liked me but he liked you more
I watched him go from our house to yours
I remember the day you turned thirteen
Thought you had grown too old for me
But I taught you make-up and you taught me boys
We burned up the phone lines from our house to yours
From our house to yours
Seven numbers
Twenty-one doors
For ten years or more
I knew the way from our house to yours
I'll never forget that awful day
When the moving van took you away
I cried 'til my eyes were red and sore
Five-hundred miles from our house to yours
It had been a while since you crossed my mind
Then a card in the mailbox at Christmas time
With an evergreen wreath on a red front door
Saying lots of love from our house to yours
From our house to yours
Too many years
Too many doors
For ten years or more
I knew the way from our house to yours
I knew the way from our house to yours

The Last Blues Song
The Last Blues Song
Composer(s): Cynthia Weil - Barry Mann
Performer(s): Helen Reddy
and multiple other artists
I've been cryin' and my-oh-my-in' since she's been gone
But I've done some thinkin' and it's startin' to sink-in that life goes on
So if you're somebody who's feelin' sorry for yourself, better sing along
'Cause this is gonna be the last blues song
Now a little bitty bit of self pity can really sing
But it keeps on growin' and you know woe-woe-in' don't change a thing
So, if you're a person who's hooked on hurtin' on yourself, better sing along
'Cause this is gonna be the last blues song
Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh, my oh my
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, I'm fit to die
Baby, baby, baby, baby, please don't go
Mama, I think I'm gettin' high on feelin' low-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh
All you losers and full time blues'ers get out of bed
Don't you go and give in, don't you give up on livin' before you're dead
Come on now, brother, if you've been motherin' yourself, better sing along
'Cause this is gonna be, this is gonna be the last blues song

Changing Horses
Changing Horses
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; Country Comfort
Changing horses in the middle of a stream
Gets you wet and sometimes cold
Changing faces in the middle of a dream
Gets you old
Oh, gets you old
Looking farther than you'll ever hope to see
Takes you places you don't know
Search for someone you can't ever hope to be
And still you go
Oh, still you go
Don't you think it's kind of sad to say
Don't you think it's gonna change?
Makes you think you'll have to stay inside
For a while
Changing horses in the middle of a stream
Gets you wet and sometimes cold
Changing faces in the middle of a dream
Gets you old

From Monday On
Composer(s): Harry Barris; Bing Crosby
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists
From Monday on, my cares are over
From Monday on, I’ll be in clover
We pick on Monday because it’s washday
And we’ll wash our blues away
From Monday on, the skies will look bright
Don’t tell me different, I know I’m right
I’m gonna start shouting Hey Hey
When he says Love Honour and Obey
I’ll be happy, from Monday on

The Lass Of Swansea Town
The Lass Of Swansea Town
(Traditional)
It was down by Swansea barracks
one May morning I strayed
A-viewing of the soldier lads
I spied a comely maid
It was o'er her red and rosy cheeks
the tears did dingle down
I thought she was some goddess fair
the lass of Swansea town
I said, "Fair maid, what brought you here
what brought you here to mourn?"
"Oh I'm in search of Willie dear
my bonny young sailor boy
Eight years ago he left me here
for Bermuda he was bound
He said he would prove faithful to
the lass of Swansea town"
"If eight years ago he left you
it is useless for to mourn
For perhaps he is in some battle slain
or in the ocean drowned"
"Oh God forbid, young man," she said
"By what token will he be known
if he ever do return to the
lass of Swansea Town"
"On his left breast he wears a scar
where he received a wound"
"If by that token your Willie is known
it's him I know right well
The cannon-ball which made him fall
gave him his deathly wound
He told me to take care of you
the lass of Swansea town"
Soon as she heard him say these words
she fell in deep despair
Wringing of her lily-white hands
and tearing of her hair
Saying, "Take me to my Willie
else give me my death wound
For no other man will ever enjoy
the lass of Swansea town"
On coming to herself once more up
from the ground she rose
His waistcoat it blew open and
the scar it did expose
They walked till they reached his cottage
and there they settled down
Young Willie of the royal blue and
the lass of Swansea town

Changing All The Time
Changing All The Time
Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Kevin Savigar
Performer(s): Peter Frampton
You're doing what you think is right
Yeah, like it's black and white
Then you're not so sure
'Cause everything's changing all the time
You're digging deep inside
In me you can always confide
You have to trust in yourself
'Cause everything's changing all the time
When in your darkest days
You are the light that shines the way
....Gotta leave it all behind
'Cause everything's changing all the time
When you're put to the test
And you need some tenderness
Don't let yesterday haunt you
'Cause everything's changing all the time
'Cause everything's changing all the time
When things don't seem to go as planned
And your hopes seem out of reach
Don't let your fears surround you
You can't give up now
And loose what's inside you

The Language Of Love
The Language Of Love
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; R.J. Wagsmith
She says no
When she means yes
And what she wants, you know that I can't guess
When we want more, you know we ask for less
Such is the language of love...
I say leave
When I mean stay
But she don't see and so she moves away
What we really want, you know we rarely say
Such is the language of love
It's tooth for tooth & eye for eye
We hide our hearts & then we won't say why
It's truth for truth & lie for lie
Such is the language of love
One cries foul
And will not speak
The other claims a little victory
And all the time
You know we fail to see
This is the language of love
When a love begins to wander
No one ever knows
But we feel it deep inside us
Long before it shows
Long before it shows
We hem & haw
We balk & bluff
Our words don't ever seem to say enough
But a simple smile
A tender touch
Speaks the true language of love
She says no
When she means yes
And what she wants, you know that I can't guess
When we want more, you know we ask for less
Such is the language of love...
Such is the language of love...

Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes
Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
and multiple other artists
I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin' where they all disappeared
I didn't ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum and we wound up drinkin' all night
It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
Reading departure signs in some big airport reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches I've seen more than I can recall
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean God I wish I was sailin' again
Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder so I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me and I know that I just can't go wrong
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning
If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
If we weren't all crazy we would go insane

From Levi's To Calvin Klein Jeans
From Levi's To Calvin Klein Jeans
Composer(s): R.D. Runyeon; R. Lathrop
Performer(s): Brenda Lee
From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
Tell me is it as far as it seems
From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans
The life that your living don't fit cowboy boots
But you fit fight in with your new Gucci shoes
Your wearing gold plated glasses and solid gold chains
I doubt if the country will see you again
From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
Tell me is it as far as it seems
From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans
The tan on your face has turned cally white
Riding those bar stools don't let in sun light
I can tell by the look that I see in your eyes
You yearn for the country and wide open skies
From a cowboy to a playboy, what a change
From a horse, to a Porsche, when your riding the range
From the trees and the stars, to the discos and bars
Tell me is it as far as it seems
From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans
From Levi's to Calvin Klein jeans

Land Of Milk And Honey
Land Of Milk And Honey
Composer(s): John Hurley - Ronnie Wilkins
Performer(s): The Vogues
Yes it's true for most of my life I spoke devil
And I did my best to dodge anything that looked at all like work
I was prone to standing on corners smokin' cigarettes
and talkin' about anything I didn't know
Oh, how I needed to go
Please take me to the land of milk and honey
To the land of love and sunshine
To the land of milk and honey, Please take me
Time passed and I got a little older
Takin' on trouble just a little bit harder and a little bit bolder
I was thinkin' colder, fightin', lyin', cheatin' & cryin', I gave up
Givin'-up the voices of evil that were pullin' me down
You know, I was givin' up ground
Please take me to the land of milk and honey
To the land of love and sunshine
To the land of milk and honey, Please take me
Then it came and it sounded like thunder
Shot of light in the dark of the night and you were really there
Tellin' me that you care, your warm love took away the cold
And were you walked the cobblestones turned to gold
And when you touch my hair you know take me there
Please take me to the land of milk and honey
To the land of love and sunshine
To the land of milk and honey
Please take me

Changes (David Bowie)
Changes
Composer(s): David Bowie
First release by: David Bowie - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

I need your loving I can't wait long
I get this feeling it comes on strong
I try to see you youre always gone
from home girl

you run a big expensive car
you come and go like a movie star
and with your money you could stray far
from home girl
from home girl
I need your loving I cant wait long
I get this feeling it comes on strong
I try to see you youre always gone
from home girl

The Lamp On The Corner
The Lamp On The Corner
Composer(s): Ned Washington - Agustín Lara
Ask the lamp on the corner how lonely my life is without you
Ask the lamp on the corner how often I've spoken about you
With what's left of my heart in my hand
Like a troubadour lonely I stand
And the light in your window keeps calling me in
Though I dare not obey its command
Ask the lamp on the corner if I haven't told (him/her) I love you
Just a miserable mourner who knows that he's not worthy of you
I forgot how we parted or why
Just a word or some little white lie
But life won't be worth livin' 'till we've been forgiven
The lamp on the corner and I

Composer(s): Alan Price
Performer(s): Alan Price
Everyone is going through changes
No one knows what's going on
And everybody changes places
But the world still carries on
Love must always change to sorrow
And everyone must play the game
It's here today and gone tomorrow
But the world goes on the same
Everyone is going through changes
Now love must always change to sorrow
Everyone is going through changes
Now love must always change to sorrow
Everyone is going through changes
But the world still carries on

From His Woman To You
From His Woman To You
Composer(s): Bettye Crutcher; Larry "Ace" Snell
Performer(s): Barbara Mason
"Hello Barbara, this is Shirley
I would like you to know that the man ...
Now wait a minute Shirley
I'm a young woman
And can't aford to all the things you do for this man
I don't even have a job
And I can't buy his clothes, pay his car notes
And I surely can't keep money in his pocket
But I can give him what he needs, when he needs it
And that's all he expects from me"
I can give him love
From his woman to you
There is a thing or two I'd like to say
I don't care who claims this man
I'm gonna love him in a way ...
Woman to woman
He spent last night with me
Stayed here cause this is where he wanted to be
From his woman to you
I've got to make it
Just play as I can
Seems to me you're doing too much for the man
From his woman to you
That you begging loving
It's giving up yourself
And I feel sorry for you, I feel sorry for you
I don't mind sharing
If you don't bother me
I won't bother you
From his woman to you
I don't know what you're gonna, gonna do
But he is giving to me
What he is getting from you
Woman to woman
That's the truth
From his woman to you
Seems like you're the fool
I'm his only woman
And I love him
And I ain't about to give him up
I'm his only woman, woman to woman
I just wanna let you know
That I ain't gonna never, never let him go
Woman to woman, I'm his only woman

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Composer(s): Mike Rutherford - Peter Gabriel - Phil Collins - Steve Hackett - Tony Banks
Performer(s): Genesis
and multiple other artists
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
Early morning Manhattan
Ocean winds blow on the land
The Movie-Palace is now undone
The all-night watchmen have had their fun
Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show
It's the same old ending-time to go
Get out!
It seems they cannot leave their dream
There's something moving in the sidewalk steam
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
Nightime's flyers feel their pains
Drugstore takes down the chains
Metal motion comes in bursts
But the gas station can quench that thirst
Suspension cracked on unmade road
The trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
And out on the subway
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Exits into daylight, spraygun hid
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
The lamb seems right out of place
Yet the Broadway street sceng finds a focus in its face
Somehow it's lying there
Brings a stillness to the air
Though man-made light, at night is very bright
There's no whitewash victim
As the neons dim, to the coat of white
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Wipes his gun-he's forgotten what he did
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
Suzanne tired her work all done
Thinks money-honey-be on-neon
Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
And the sawdust king spits out his scorn
Wonder women draw your blind!
Don't look at me! I'm not your kind
I'm Rael!
Something inside me has just begun
Lord knows what I have done
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
On Broadway
They say the lights are always bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
